Back to School with American Creed

August 30, 2018

By Educator Innovator

This fall, communities across the country will continue conversations about what it means to be American today, inspired by the film American Creed which will be re-released by PBS later this season. Additionally, youth will continue to have the opportunity to engage with this film and related conversations by sharing their own responses and stories at the Writing Our Future: American Creed publishing site.

Whether you teach in a school, a library, or a community center, we welcome the young learners/writers you work with to join the conversation!

Start by being inspired.

Through the summer we have been highlighting a range of work published by youth from Alaska to Virginia. In fact, since our launch in February 2018, hundreds of youth have responded. Take a moment now and explore the voices and approaches from across the country. The responses from youth include video interviews, essays, and even poems that feature the diversity and embrace the complexities of America and being American.
